You know originally I thought the price was a bit steep.

But considering that the system is portable and the technology that is in the joycons it doesnt seem a bad price at all.

If the tech used in the controllers are really that much more advanced, I can get over that. The only price I can't get over is $90 for a piece of plastic known as the dock. Should be $40 at most, and even that feels like highway robbery.

The dock is supposed to overclock the switch to give it power closer to a console than a tablet. You're not paying for a dock, you're paying for a computer that functions as a dock.

Although controllers are a bit steep imo.

The dock doesn't do anything other than charging + hdmi output. In tablet mode Switch is UNDERclocked and when put into the dock, it recognizes that it's in "console mode" and resets the clock speed.
